Ylityötuntiin

Ylityötuntiin refers to an hour of work performed beyond the standard working hours of an employee. In Finland, this concept is governed by labor laws and collective bargaining agreements. When an employee works ylityötuntiin, they are typically entitled to compensation at a higher rate than their regular hourly wage. The specific overtime pay rate is often defined as a percentage increase, such as 50% or 100% more than the normal rate, depending on the circumstances and the applicable agreement.

There are usually regulations concerning the maximum amount of overtime an employee can be asked to work within a given period to prevent excessive workloads and ensure employee well-being. Employers are generally required to compensate employees for all hours worked, including overtime, and to provide documentation of these hours and the corresponding pay. The definition and compensation of ylityötuntiin can vary based on the industry, the type of employment contract, and specific union agreements. Employees should be aware of their rights and obligations regarding overtime work as outlined in their employment contracts and relevant labor legislation.
